A member asked:

Swollen nipples and small lump under them (male). infection or something worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not uncommon: This may be quite normal and persist for some time. If it becomes increasingly annoying, there is discharge from the nipples, it becomes red, increasingly tender, or other symptoms occur, see a doctor.
